BRIEF BIOGRAl'IIY.
NVwark, N. J., .Ian. I't I. Theo
dore Ruuyon wan horn at. Soinrr
ville, N. J., Octoher LT., 1 Slill. He grudu
ated from Yale college in 18-12, and in
18-1(1 wan admitted to the liar. In 185:1
he was made city attorney and in 18.rt(i
elty councillor of Newark, N. J., u posi
tion Ik; retained until in l.Hti-l, when he
became mayor of the city. He waa np
poinled In 185(1 a eoniniiHHioner to re
vine and codify the military laws of New
Jersey, and in 1857 wan made brign
dier general, and subsequently major Ken
oral of the New .lorxev National guard.
At the outbreak of the Civil war he wiih
placed in command of a New Jersey brig
ude of volunteers. In 1H(!5 lie was Dem
ocratic; candidate for governor of liiH
State, but wan not elected. In J.H7.'t to
1887 he wan chancellor of New Jersey.
March, IN!!.'!, lie was appointed by
In
President Cleveland United Statea minis
ter to Germany, and idiortly afterwards
wns made ambassador, in nccordance witii
a law of congress that tin; United States
representatives in (iermaiiy should be
raisecWto the rank of nmbassador reci
procally with the similar uction on the
iiart of the German government concern
ing its representative in the United
Snitf. WIIH conferred upon
him by "y' Kntlcdge and Wetdoyiiii
colleges.
He moved, with his family, in the best
society in the Tinted States. He had
three daughters and two sons. The
daughters were all noted for their beauty
anil there was much regret in Newark
society when they followed their father
aftd mother to the German court.
The sons are Chauncey ICunyon, 22
years old, nud Frederick, 20 years old.
T!:o first known of the death of Mr.
Ruuyon by his friends in Newark came
in the form of a cablegram to Clinnnooy
Rtmyoii, saying his father died from
lieart failure. .
One of Mr. Kunyon's daughters is a
gifted writer and is credited witli the au
thorship of a book recently published in
ivhich some well known Newark people
were rather freely treated.
THE OFFICE SOUGHT THE MAN.
Washington, Jan. .Hit. Mr. Ruuyon
was the successor of William Walter
I'hclps, who had held the place of Ger
man minister for four years. He was a
gallant soldier and Fort Kiinyon on the
Alexandria railroad, at the south end
of Long Bridge, near Washington, D. C,
is a perpetuation of his name.
At the time of the appointment of Mr.
Runyou it was remarked as being that
of the olliee seeking the man. His name
had been presented to the president by
Senators Mcl'herson and Smith, and he
knew nothing of the application which
was lieing made in his behalf until he
was asked by letter if he would accept.
The unequivocal endorsement which he
received from the senators and the high
reputation enjoyed by him in the State
led the president to make the appoint
ment without hesitation. He was u man
of unquestioned ability and high social
attainments.
During Iiih service in Berlin the most
important matter that has been pending
between the 1'iiitod States and (ierma
iiy has been that in regard to the re
moval of the restrictions imposed on the
importations of American pork and beef
products into that country.
NO OFFICIAL NEWS.
Washington, Jan. -Hi. The Associated
Press' announcement of the death of
Ambassador Ruuyon preceded any ollieial
advices to the department here and none
hud been received up to midnight. The
lateness of the hour prevented the news
from Is'ing widely known in Washington
circles and the New Jersey members of
congress, who best knew Mr. Ruuyon,
were inneeensible. The announcement
of the death will bo a great shock to ad
ministration personages, for. although
Mr. Rnnyon was not well known per
sonally, yet the diplomatic ability which
he has shown has given the administra
tion groat confidence in bis ability.

How
FAKE REPORTS.
Cuban War News is Worked I p
by Sensational Sheets.
Some of our iiroiiiinent public jour
nals have; given themselves up to the most
Hi.iisiit nun rake reliorts ot Hie i.uiiaii
war. When it is remembered that the
government exercises the strictest censor
ship over all the mails and on hies, the col
umns of sensational inventions published
in some of our leading newspapers day
after day purporting to come directly
from Culm, not only degrade; the newspa-
oers which resort to such expedients but
invite public mockery upon the legitimate
louruals of the day.
Every issue of these newspapers fur
nishes interviews with prominent otlicials
on both Hides of the conflict in Cuba who
were never seen and who were entirely ig
noriint of the interviews published as
coming from them. They give proclama
tions from Cuban and Spanish olliciiils
which have never been proclaimed, de
scribe journeys to military camps which
have never been made, portray battles
which won; never fought and indulge in
the wildest speculations as to the move
ments of the contending forces. As Cuba
is inaccessible except with the approval of
the government censorship, these mon
strous fakes are never contradicted, and
hundreds of thousands of people in the
country who are interested in the I'uban
troubles are played upon from day to day
by the worst form of fake journalism.
The New York Herald has been a nota
ble exception among the journals which
have pretended to present the news
from Cuba. Its reports have boon the
most reliable of any published in the
I'nited States. While it devotes usually
about a column a day to give the full
news that ean Ik- had by the most enter
prising journal of the world, other jour
nals which do not spend $1 to the Her
ald's hundred publish column after col
umn each day, depending upon the in
ventive resources of the home Bohemian
who. while sitting in his newspaper olliee
in Philadelphia or New Y'ork, writes the
most graphic and thrilling reports of
events that never occurred, and of sec
tions and camps which lie never saw. It
is disgraceful to American journalism
that these almost entirely invented re
ports have become a feature of newspa
pers of today.
Vlioiit the only reliable news that can
be obtained from Cuba comes from the
news organizations known us the Associ
ated and the United Press. They have
not failed to furnish the facts relating to
every important movement made by both
sides since the Cuban struggle began.
Some special correspondents have render-
oil valuable service, but the dispatches
which have been published as from them
have usually been padded from a brief
paragraph to a column or more. All of
the leading journals of the country fur
nish the full and complete news of the
progress of affairs in Culm, and us a rule
those which present most give the least
reliable information. It is simply fake
journalism and the public must soon fully
appreciate the fraud that is attempted
upon them. Philadelphia Times.

LAST MEETING WITH BLAINE.
Murut Halstead Speaks of the Statesman
When Last lie Saw Him.
When Mr. Blaine was for the last time
in New York on his way to Washington,
stopping as was his habit at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, he asked me to walk with
him to his room, frunting on Twenty
third street, on the parlor floor; and lie
slowly, as If it were a task, unlocked the
door, says Murut Halstead in McClure's
Magazine. There was a sparkle of auto
matic crispness in the air, and he had a
lire that glitterd and threw shadows
about fitfully. There was not much to
say. It was plain at last that Mr. Blaine
was fading, that he had within a few
weeks failed Tast. Ills great, bright eyes
were greater than ever, but not so bright.
I lis face was awfully white; not that
brainy pallor taht was so familiar some
thing else. He seated himself in the
light of the lire, on an easy chair. There
was a knock nt his door mid servant hand
ed him a curd, and he said "No," and
we were alone, i could not think of a
word of consolation, and in a moment he
appeared to have forgotten me and stared
in a tixed. rapt dream at the Dickering
Ilium in the grate. It occurred to nie to
get up and go away quietly, as conversa
tion was impossible for there was too
much to say. It came to me that I ought
not to leave him alone. Something in
him reminded me of the mystical phrases
of the transcendaiit paragraph of his ora
tion on (artielil, picturing the (tenth ot
the second martyred president, by the
ocean, while far off white ships touched
the sea and sky. and the fevered face ot
the dying man felt "the breath of the
eternal morning."
Some weeks earlier Mr. Blame and I
had had u deep talk about men and things
and he was very kind, and his boundless
generosity of nature never revealed itself
with a greater or sadder charm. He
now remembered that conversation as
a word disclosed ami said: "I could
have endured all things if my boy had
not died." The door opened and his sec
retary walked in and I took Mr. Blaine's
hand for the last time, saying "Good
night, and he said, with a look that
meant farewell -"Good by."

In Which the Relsds Wore Routed With

New York, Jan. 27. A Hitecinl to the
World from Havana, Cuba, soys:
Numerous reports have been received
of skirmishes indicating unusual mnnoou-
vering on both sides in Havana province
Detailed reports are also coining in
of General Luquo's operations in Pinar
del Rio province against Macco. Almost
continuous fighting for four days is said
to have resulted in "the retreat of Ma
coo's forces" 5000 strong. The severest
engagement in that province so far was
at Taironas, between Pinar del Rio and
Solomn, on the south coast.
General Luque, hearing January 8 that
some rebels wore throe miles south of the
city waiting to attack a wagon train con
vcying 100,000 rations for the Spanish
troops, marched against them with HOOO
troops, including field artillery and a
squadron of cavalry. He found the in
surgents, in strong positions on the hills
on both sides of the road, lledeployeil
his vanguard and led his inn in force along
the road directly toward the strongest
position occupied by the rebels.
Colonel lleiniidez took a position ou
the left of the road, and reports assert
that the insurgents "straightway Hod in
disorder before a rille was fired."
But the report also declares that the
colonel thereupon ordered the cavalry to
charge, and that the troopers gave tt
"dashing exhibition of courage under a
terrific fire near the almost impregnable
stand of the insurgents."
The cavalry dismounted, it is stated.
and opened a heavy fire. They wore
soon assisted by infantry and a battery of
artillery witli four guns. Two batallions
of infantry advanced, "still under heavy
fire." The rebels "could not stand the
onslaught," the report alleges, and again
retired, this time keening up a runninir
fire.
As the insurgents wore all mounted it
was impossible to 'make a bayonet charge
and they were favored by underbrush
and the broken country. The rebels
succeeded in gaining shelter."
The ollieial report tells of the "splendid
advance of tin; Spanish troops, who pre
served their ranks as if they wore march
ing at guard mount.
General Luque was equally successful
in dislodging the rebels "in the right of
the road," the report says. He directed
his lire against tin; strong relicl position
ou a neighboring hill.
I he rebels retreated, taking up a posi
tion on still higher ground.
1 lie mam body of the insurgent
forces then united to resist the Spanish
advances, whereupon live companies of
artillery opened fire upon the compact
musts of JJ'.W llisurgeuts, spreading great.,
havoc.
(.eneial Luque, according lo the offi
cial narrative, "went to Hernando, nu- I
sistanco," at the same time nttucking the
insurgents' left think.
ihe action was continuous from ii:i.
to 11:110 a. m. two hours and n quarter
and four rebels wore found dead.
The Spanish also discovered several
wounded and some horses astray, "plain-
indicating severe repulses.
Tin rebels are said to have boon com
manded by Macco and Berinudoz. 1 lie
insurgent leader, Gayo Sosa, is reported
to have been wounded.
After Luque "hud obtained his ob
ject, driving the rebels trom a position
where they wore threatening the roan to
Coloina," he "retired with all his forces
to Pinar del Rio."
Hearing that "the enemy had been de
molished, and being desirous of again
mooting Macco," General Luque left the
city quietly at daylight the next morning
anil met the relicl skirmishers "near the
same battle ground they had retired
from."
General T.nque attacked right and loft,
while a third detachment "executed u
movement on the rebel rear."
The Spanish column s "linos of battle
wore tlieii clearly drawn, aim mere
was "heavy and continuous tiring," both
sides "suffering."
Spanish surgeons wore seen crossing
from place to place under heavy lire."
Ci-no ml l.iinne succeeded ill checking
a left Hank movement by the enemy, who
fought desperately. Colonel Hernandez
ordered a bayonet charge. His force
was fired upon, but "without answering
the enemy" be "took a position in the
woods, again engaging the enemy," kill-
ine some and forcing a retreat. men,
taking another position, "the well pro-
fected enemy prepared tor an oneou.Kor.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
(inv season, but perhaps more generally
needed, wl the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and al
terative is felt. A prompt use or this
medicine has often averted long and per

will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, constipa

OPPOSED TO DIFFERENTIALS.
The Southern Trallic Association Goes
On Record. I
St. Louis, Jan. 2S. Executive officers
composing the Southwestern Passenger
association, 111 session here today, put
that organization oil record as opposed to
the payment of differentials. All the
railroads interested liad representatives
present, including the Cotton Belt, whose
notice of withdrawal had been recalled at
the previous meeting. The first matter
taken up was the demand of the Cotton
Holt lor tne payment ot n ililterential 01
$2 on first-class and $1 on second class in
addition to 1 for every ticket sold in
St. Louis or Cairo for lexas points. The
Cotton Belt bases its claim on the fact
that it does not enter St. Louis over its
own tracks, coming in from Delta, l."i
miles distant, over the Missouri Pacific
road. It was, after some discussion, de
cided to pay no differential whatever. The
Cotton Holt then withdrew its demand.
A mooting ot general pasenger agents
of the lines represented at today's meet
ing was called to meet here on February
11 to devise means for making some
concession to the Cotton Belt because it
does not enter St. Louis over its own
tracks.
A uniform scale of commission to be
paid agents for the sale of tickets was de
cided upon to go into effect February 1.
Adjourned.

Chicago. Jan. 2S. A meeting of the
Western Passenger association was held
today for the purpose of considering tin
request for an extension of time of
tickets for the Grand Army of the Re
public encampment at St. Paul and rates
already Mow those granted for the meet
ing of the Knights of Pythias at Min
neapolis. Both requests wore denied.
Commander Walker said:
"That simply lets St. Paul out of it.
The entire matter will now be reopened
and another city selected for the encamp
ment." When information that the other roads
of the Joint Traffic association had de
clared that they would not grant terms
more favorable than those already made
by the Western linos. Commander Walk
er replied:
"Then there will be no G. A. R. en
campment this year. We must have .'lit
days or we will not have any encampment."
